Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Use of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering
On March 16, 2020, we completed our IPO, pursuant to which we issued and sold all 4,700,000 shares of our registered common stock at the public offering price of $16.00 per share. On April 13, 2020, the underwriters exercised their option in full to purchase 705,000 additional shares of our registered common stock at the public offering price of $16.00 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds of our IPO, inclusive of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, were $86.5 million. The offering commenced on March 11, 2020 and did not terminate until the sale of all of the shares offered.
The offer and sale of all of the shares of our common stock in our IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-236465), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 11, 2020. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and SVB Leerink LLC. acted as joint book-running managers for our IPO.
We received aggregate net proceeds from the IPO, inclusive of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, of approximately $76.5 million, after deducting $6.1 million of underwriting discounts and commissions and $3.9 million of other offering expenses payable by us. None of the underwriting discounts and commissions or offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any directors or officers of ours or their associates or to persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities or to any affiliates of ours. We have used approximately $2.1 million of the net proceeds from the IPO as of March 31, 2021, as we have continued to fund operations primarily from proceeds received through our preferred stock financings. We have invested the unused net proceeds from the offering in money market accounts. There has been no material change in our planned use of the net proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act with the SEC on March 12, 2020.
